A cocktail in every glass: New "Recession Proof" specials at Apothecary

It's no secret that we here at CP love us some Apothecary Bar + Lounge — we've been all about their whimsical mix magic for a minute now, from my Spring '08 DISH Guide pre-opening profile to critic Trey Popp's glowing July 17 review of the 13th Street haunt. But as much as we heart it, we just couldn't make APO an every-night kind of place — the drinks, smashing as though they may be, are a little too pretty-penny to sip three, four times a week. (Note that this unfortunate economic side effect applies to all haute-y diney/drinky destinations, not just these guys.)
That's why we're very amped to learn that Tipping Brothers Tad Carducci and Paul Tanguay, the guys who designed APO's cocktail program in the first place, have just introduced a new cocktail list they're calling "Recession Proof." For just six bucks a pop (!), take your pick from seven new drinks, from the Union League (bathtub gin, Porto, orange bitters) to the Morning Glory Fizz (scotch whiskey, absinthe, egg white, sugar, siphon water). The new drinks (full menu at right) are available Sunday through Thursday from 7 p.m. till close. Salud.
